So !!! What does Vito Bruno have to say about "The Rave Under the Kosciuszko Bridge"

The first question that Vito needs to answer is  ---  did he have any hand in putting this event together ?  After all, he did these kinds of things many times before  ---  And in the day, he not only bragged about it, he positively gushed about it


Second, did Vito have any advance word that this particular Rave was coming ???


Third, what is Vito's position on the holding events like this during the COVID-19 pandemic ?????   

>>>  Especially since NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo has specifically condemned them  <<<

Here's a snippet from the Gothamist:   "....  Ever since photos and videos of mass gatherings on Steinway Street in Astoria spread a few weeks ago, a task force created by Governor Andrew Cuomo has been cracking down on restaurants and bars violating the state's COVID-19 guidelines. But that hasn't stopped the proliferation of illicit pandemic parties....   The latest included a "secret" rave that drew hundreds of people to a small park under the Kosciuszko Bridge on the border of Brooklyn and Queens on Saturday night. It took police until 4 a.m. to break up the festivities, which is at least several hours after the event began...."  (See "Rave Organizer Defends Big Kosciuszko Bridge Party: 'People Need A Release' " by Ben Yakas, 8/3/2020,  Gothamist/ Arts & Entertainment   [https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/rave-organizer-defends-big-kosciuszko-bridge-party-people-need-release]).

You tell me if this part of the Gothamist article doesn't sound a lot like it could have been said by Vito Bruno himself    >>>   "....  'If you think people aren't going to gather, you're a fool—there's no stopping that,'  said one of the organizers, a South Brooklyn native who asked to be anonymous so the blowback from the event doesn't affect his day-to-day life. 'The event got out of control because people wanted to come, people wanted to be out. People have been cooped up for so long. The pressure is building, and people need a release. It's already happening. We can do it more safely, or we can pretend it isn't happening.'..."  After all, Vito Bruno has given several interviews like this one to his friends on the "Arts & Entertainment" beat for years.....


Similar coverage appeared in the "NY Post," "Rolling Stone," "The Patch" and at least two British publications, the "Independent" and the "Daily Mail," as well as numerous other internet sites.....  The Gothamist, and most if not all of these other media outlets, mentioned that Governor Cuomo has condemned gatherings like this, with Cuomo saying that  ".....   I am appalled....  The Department of Health will conduct an investigation. We have no tolerance for the illegal & reckless endangerment of public health....";  and another time this:  "It’s disrespectful. It’s illegal....  It violates common decency. look at all the people you endangered. What if one of the people gets sick and dies?...We need better enforcement all across the state....”
